Advantages: portable, you feel brainy as hell if you win

Disadvantages: I am useless at it

I would first like to blame the chess software that I have for being defective in some way. Dozens and dozens of games I have played, and yet I still have not, even on the easiest of settings won a game against Mr. Compter. This will remain my excuse until I actually win a game (he thought dreamily), and it will then be my mastery of the game, and tactical insight that enabled me at last to defeat the might of the computer.
However, it is possibly an indictment of the game that no matter how many defeats I keep coming back for more. It must be 'the' ultimate in board games. A game of skill and strategy (or at least I have heard it is). The game of territory and gain, played out on sixty four squares with thirty two pieces whether played on a traditional board, or on a computer (dodgy software allowing....cough cough) remains a classic. Don't know why its called Chess though??? Perhaps someone can tell me. Any back to my game now, the words jaws and defeat spring to mind.
